ITALY -> AUSTRIA : Hey Austria! I'm very happy to help you against Turkey if you'd like! How do you like to play Italy?
ITALY -> GERMANY : Hey Germany! Are you planning to team up with France or England? If it's the latter I can try to convince France to open towards England.
ITALY -> FRANCE : Hey France! I'm going to be busy to the east so I'd love it if we could start with a standard DMZ in Pie.
FRANCE -> ITALY : Sounds perfect to me, good luck!
AUSTRIA -> ITALY : Hi Italy! Glad to hear from you!
TURKEY -> RUSSIA : Hey Russia! What do you think about the classic Juggernaut?
AUSTRIA -> ITALY : Would love to have peace between us and possibly work together. Us fighting just helps RT
ENGLAND -> FRANCE : Hi France! I really like the F/E alliance as it's really fun and powerful. Would you be down to give it a go?
FRANCE -> ENGLAND : I'm interested, yeah! How do we open? DMZ in the Channel?
GERMANY -> ITALY : Hey Italy! Not decided yet, will let you know once I've spoken to them
AUSTRIA -> RUSSIA : Hi Russia! Hope all is well. How do you want to handle Gal?
ENGLAND -> RUSSIA : Hi Russia, my desire in 1901 is for us to split the Scandinavian centres evenly and not start a battle in the north. How do you feel about that?
RUSSIA -> AUSTRIA : Hey Austria! Hope all is well as well. I think a bounce is probably the best choice, but if you want to be more bold, I'd be down for a DMZ.
RUSSIA -> TURKEY : Hey Turkey! I'm always down for a good old classic Jug. Do you want to bounce in BLA?
AUSTRIA -> RUSSIA : A bounce works for me
ITALY -> GERMANY : Sounds good. I'll let you know if I get any useful information!
RUSSIA -> AUSTRIA : Sounds good to me
GERMANY -> ENGLAND : Hi England! Shall we work together?
ENGLAND -> FRANCE : Yeah let's dmz English Channel. I'll do the usual Norway grab with the fleets. How do you feel about Belgium?
ENGLAND -> GERMANY : Hey Germany! I love the E/G alliance, it's fun and powerful. Let's do it. What do you have in mind?
RUSSIA -> ENGLAND : I completely agree. My preference as Russia is to focus my attention on the South and I'm sure that's something you'd prefer as well
ITALY -> AUSTRIA : Agreed, there's no point in us fighting while Russia and Turkey are aligned. I'm going to open with a standard Lepanto to take out Turkey as soon as possible.
RUSSIA -> GERMANY : Hey Germany! What are your thoughts on Sweden?
ITALY -> RUSSIA : Hey Russia! I'm going to work with Austria to take out Turkey, but afterwards I'd be very happy to help you take out Austria. How does that sound?
ITALY -> ENGLAND : Hey England! Let me know if you need any information and I'll try to help you out.
GERMANY -> RUSSIA : Hey Russia! Probably leaning towards letting you in. What's your plan for the game?
ENGLAND -> RUSSIA : Of course. No point in fighting over the north. I hope to be peaceful neighbours!
ITALY -> TURKEY : Hey Turkey! I'm going to start with a standard Lepanto to take Tunis, but afterwards I'd be very happy to help you out against Austria.
ENGLAND -> ITALY : Hey Italy! Sounds good. I think the only info worth having from me in 1901 is that I've agreed to split Scandinavia with Russia peacefully. Let's keep each other posted though!
TURKEY -> RUSSIA : Sure, let's bounce.
TURKEY -> RUSSIA : Are you opening south then? Or are you going to concentrate more on Scandinavia?
RUSSIA -> ITALY : That sounds lovely to me!
GERMANY -> FRANCE : Hi France! Shall we work together? I suggest DMZ in Burgundy as a start, and discuss Belgium in the fall
RUSSIA -> ENGLAND : I agree. Scandinavia can be very messy and lead to stalemates that only hurt both of us
ITALY -> ENGLAND : Sounds good. I've agreed to a DMZ in Pie with France, and my focus will be to the east, but if France goes after you I'll help you out as soon as I can.
FRANCE -> GERMANY : Hello Germany! That sounds perfect to me, how would you like to go about discussing Belgium?
GERMANY -> AUSTRIA : Hi Austria! Shall we have a truce? No benefit for either of us to attack the other
ITALY -> RUSSIA : Great! I'll make sure to keep in touch. Let me know if you need any information and I'll try to help you out.
TURKEY -> ITALY : Hey Italy! So a standard Lepanto is Rome-apulia, Naples-ionian, Venice hold? And then you convoy to Tunis?
AUSTRIA -> GERMANY : Works for me! I have your back
RUSSIA -> TURKEY : I'll probably try to open south
GERMANY -> FRANCE : I'm happy for you to have it if we work together to take England down
TURKEY -> FRANCE : Hey France, how are things going in the west?
FRANCE -> GERMANY : Awesome, thanks!
RUSSIA -> GERMANY : My current plan is to focus my attention on the South while trying to set myself up in a good spot for the mid game. I appreciate you letting me take Sweden. I'm open to any ideas you have for cooperation going forward
ITALY -> TURKEY : That's right! Is there any particular Lepanto you like more?
FRANCE -> TURKEY : Hello Turkey! Things are going well, just trying to see how things are shaping up with England and Germany. Good luck in the east!
RUSSIA -> AUSTRIA : Italy told me that you two were thinking of moving on Turkey. Is that the case?
GERMANY -> RUSSIA : Excellent. Let's see how England opens
TURKEY -> FRANCE : Thanks!
ENGLAND -> ITALY : Much appreciated!
TURKEY -> RUSSIA : Alright, sounds good. Let's see what Austria is up to.
GERMANY -> AUSTRIA : Likewise
TURKEY -> ITALY : It's hard to say, but maybe the blue water? It looks interesting.
TURKEY -> AUSTRIA : Hey Austria, how's it going?
AUSTRIA -> RUSSIA : That's the plan!
FRANCE -> ENGLAND : I was thinking of going for Belgium, would that be all right with you?
AUSTRIA -> TURKEY : Hi Turkey! Goes well! How about you? Getting a vibe Russia isn't a fan of me. How about you? Hopefully we can work together
AUSTRIA -> RUSSIA : You hearing anything from Turkey? He reached out but haven't read it yet
TURKEY -> AUSTRIA : I'm doing pretty well, thanks. Yeah, I can imagine. Russia does seem to be opening south, so you'll probably have to bounce in Galicia.
AUSTRIA -> TURKEY : For sure. Hate that opening lol. Any plans to prevent a Russian fleet from being in Black Sea?
RUSSIA -> AUSTRIA : I haven't heard too much from Turkey. He reached out about the Jug but that's about it
RUSSIA -> TURKEY : Austria and Italy have both told me that they intend to move against you
TURKEY -> RUSSIA : Alright, thanks for the heads up.
TURKEY -> AUSTRIA : I'm moving there now, we've agreed on a bounce.
AUSTRIA -> TURKEY : Gotcha gotcha. Well I'll see you on the other side then lol
AUSTRIA -> RUSSIA : Gotcha. I hate that alliance. Guess we'll see what happens lol
TURKEY -> AUSTRIA : See you on the other side!
AUSTRIA -> FRANCE : Hi France! Good luck this game!
AUSTRIA -> ENGLAND : Good luck this game England!
AUSTRIA -> GERMANY : You working with France or England?
AUSTRIA -> ITALY : Works for me!
FRANCE -> AUSTRIA : Hello Austria! Thank you, and good luck to you as well!
ENGLAND -> FRANCE : I was kind of hoping to get Belgium. My concern is that it makes our alliance so unbalanced. Would you be ok with me getting Belgium? We can switch it around later to make sure you get a better border against Germany.
ENGLAND -> AUSTRIA : Thanks Austria! You too. Hope you make it out of the early years unscathed.
FRANCE -> ENGLAND : I'm open to it, I'll send Paris to Pic and we can discuss it next turn
FRANCE -> RUSSIA : Hello Russia! Good luck to you, let me know if I can do anything for you
GERMANY -> AUSTRIA : Not sure yet...will see how they open
AUSTRIA -> GERMANY : Good luck! Let me know if I can be of help
TURKEY -> GERMANY : Hey Germany, how are things in the west?
FRANCE -> ENGLAND : That work?
GERMANY -> TURKEY : Hi Turkey! A little early to tell, but hopefully friendly enough for now
RUSSIA -> FRANCE : Hi France! Good luck to you as well. I hope that we get a chance to work together this game
TURKEY -> GERMANY : Good to hear. Let's see how Russia is up to, maybe we can work together at some point.
FRANCE -> RUSSIA : Me as well!
GERMANY -> TURKEY : Sounds good
GERMANY -> AUSTRIA : Thanks!
ENGLAND -> FRANCE : Ok cool. I'll do the normal fleet movements for England, let's see how things shake out.
FRANCE -> ENGLAND : Perfect, I look forward to working together!
TURKEY -> ENGLAND : Hey England, how are things going in the west?
ENGLAND -> TURKEY : Hey Turkey! Things are going alright I guess. Feeling out France and Germany. Russia and I have agreed to peacefully split the north. How are things in the east?
TURKEY -> ENGLAND : Austria and Italy tell me that they're going to fight me together, so I think I will not do well. I'll just have to wait and see.
ENGLAND -> TURKEY : That's rough. If things get really bad, reach out to Russia. Maybe the 3 of us can try to deal with the threats.
ENGLAND -> RUSSIA : How are things in the east?
RUSSIA -> ENGLAND : I'm not sure. The current plan is to bounce in BLA. I think I'll know for sure if they're all attacking Turkey after this turn
ENGLAND -> RUSSIA : Got it. That's good to know. Could also be an A/I alliance, which would be rough for you. Let's see how things shake out in the east.
RUSSIA -> ENGLAND : Agreed. My attention is definitely going to be focused on the South this game, so I hope that you're able to take Norway without an issue
ENGLAND -> RUSSIA : Yep I'll grab it with a fleet. No worries.
TURKEY -> ENGLAND : Thanks for the suggestion, I will.
ITALY -> TURKEY : I'll think about it!
TURKEY -> ITALY : There are so many interesting possibilities, I'm looking forward to see what you do.

RUSSIA -> ENGLAND : Hey England! What are your plans for the army in Yor?
ITALY -> GERMANY : Right now I'm planning to work with Austria to take out Turkey, but after that I could potentially help you out against France. I'll see how things turn out!
TURKEY -> RUSSIA : Shall we bounce again?
AUSTRIA -> ITALY : Seems Russia and Turkey aren't working together. What are your thoughts moving forward?
TURKEY -> RUSSIA : It's really good that you bounced in Galicia.
AUSTRIA -> RUSSIA : Glad that worked out! How do you want to play this going forward?
ENGLAND -> RUSSIA : Well France is going to get 3 builds so I might bounce them in Belgium. Do you have a suggestion?
AUSTRIA -> TURKEY : Nice! Got Black! How do you want to play this going forward?
RUSSIA -> TURKEY : I don't think we have to bounce in BLA again. I want to use Sev to support myself into Rum
ENGLAND -> FRANCE : Hi France. That went well for you! How do you feel about the Belgium discussion? I still think it's in both of our interests for me to take it, as I won't be getting a build anywhere else and you've got Spain and Portugal. But I also understand that it's not great to have Germany so close to your home centres. What are your thoughts?
ENGLAND -> GERMANY : Hi Germany! Would you support me into Belgium from Yorkshire?
ENGLAND -> TURKEY : Looks like an A/I alliance! Always rough to play as Turkey.
RUSSIA -> ENGLAND : I think that's the best move. I doubt Germany will let you have Bel, but maybe you can convince him to bounce France?
ENGLAND -> RUSSIA : Yeah it's worth a try. I'll also try and get France to support me in there. Looks like an A/I alliance. Pretty rough for Turkey. I'll see if I can get Germany on board with taking on France so you don't have to deal with them.
TURKEY -> RUSSIA : Oh right, alright. Then I can bounce Austria in Greece.
ENGLAND -> FRANCE : I would of course be happy to eventually give it back to you once we're able to knock out Germany.
ITALY -> AUSTRIA : I'm going to continue on with the standard Lepanto and then I'll help you take Turkey out. I don't see any clear course of action for me right now, what about you?
GERMANY -> ENGLAND : I'd be more comfortable letting France have it. We don't want him getting too strong early. I can support you into Sweden next year though
AUSTRIA -> ITALY : Same. Standard stuff for me. Looks like I can't stop Russia from getting Rum, so the question is, do I let him into Gal or do I cover Trieste?
TURKEY -> AUSTRIA : I think it's a bit early to decide that, I'd like to wait and see how things develop. How are things with Italy?
FRANCE -> ENGLAND : Hello England! Yeah, I'm open to discussing it still. Were you planning to send Yorkshire to Belgium?
GERMANY -> RUSSIA : Looks like you'll get 2 builds! Well played. But I'm going to have to bounce you in Sweden. An early 6 centre Russia is just too scary for me
RUSSIA -> GERMANY : I can assure you that I'm not going to get a second build this turn
RUSSIA -> AUSTRIA : I'm not sure. What are you thinking?
TURKEY -> ENGLAND : Thanks for the heads up, that's really good of you. Yeah, I'm not looking forward to it. At least you're getting Norway and you can bounce France or Germany out of Belgium.
ENGLAND -> GERMANY : If France has it they're almost certainly going to get 3 builds in 1901. That's rough for us.
RUSSIA -> TURKEY : Are you going to move Ank-con as well?
GERMANY -> RUSSIA : You might, if Turkey and Austria bounce in Greece. But fair enough if not. I will still bounce in Sweden. That's not going to stop us working together in future
ENGLAND -> FRANCE : Yep. I think that would give us the most strength for going after Germany. Otherwise we're not going to be able to make headway.
RUSSIA -> GERMANY : But bouncing me in Sweden also doesn't let me focus my attention on the South
ENGLAND -> RUSSIA : Ok I think I got Germany to agree. They seem a little bit hesitant to let France have Belgium but we'll see.
ENGLAND -> TURKEY : Yeah it's unfortunate but it is what it is. I hope to work with Germany against France. But that will be tricky with France going to 6 centres in 1901.
RUSSIA -> ENGLAND : Thanks for doing so. I'm having a little trouble getting a read on Germany as well. Hopefully we can figure out a way to work together
ENGLAND -> RUSSIA : For sure. I don't think either of us wants the west to resolve quickly. That means strong France and Germany which is bad for both of us. Let's keep in touch.
RUSSIA -> ENGLAND : Sounds good to me
FRANCE -> ENGLAND : Okay, I'm fine with that. I'll support you in and we can make the switch later?
ENGLAND -> FRANCE : That sounds great. Thanks France.
AUSTRIA -> TURKEY : Suppose we will see what Italy does lol
AUSTRIA -> RUSSIA : Thinking we DMZ Gal this year so you can support Ukraine to Rum with your fleet. I just need to decide if I want to cover Trieste or not
AUSTRIA -> ENGLAND : Always a struggle. Let me know if I can be of help!
ITALY -> TURKEY : Blue Water is certainly interesting but it would require Austria's cooperation, and I'm not sure I can get that.
ENGLAND -> AUSTRIA : Looks like an A/I alliance. That's strong for Austria! Hope you're able to make a quick dent on Turkey and then Russia.
FRANCE -> ENGLAND : No problem!
RUSSIA -> AUSTRIA : That works for me. It will help get me involved in the Turkish fight quicker
AUSTRIA -> ENGLAND : Hope so. We shall see. Just started chatting with Italy. Worried about him taking Trieste
AUSTRIA -> RUSSIA : Agreed! I think I will cover Trieste just to be safe but can support you to Rum next year
ITALY -> AUSTRIA : There's not much you can do about Russia getting Rum unfortunately, but a Russian fleet in Rum is much less threatening than an army. If Germany bounces Russia in Swe then Russia won't get any builds.
TURKEY -> ENGLAND : Do you think you can keep him out of Belgium? That would keep things balanced.
TURKEY -> AUSTRIA : Yeah, I'm a bit worried about a potential Lepanto.
RUSSIA -> AUSTRIA : I'm fine with waiting until next year for that support
AUSTRIA -> ITALY : Very true. Guess we will see what happens
AUSTRIA -> TURKEY : True. Worried about that as well
AUSTRIA -> RUSSIA : Sounds good
TURKEY -> ITALY : It's too bad that you don't, it would be interesting. Still, a convoy to Tunis is good enough.
RUSSIA -> GERMANY : Are you planning to bounce France in Bel?
TURKEY -> AUSTRIA : How are things with Russia?
GERMANY -> RUSSIA : England will go for it. Don't know about France. England asking for support though, which isn't a great sign
TURKEY -> RUSSIA : I'm not sure, it depends on what Austria says.
RUSSIA -> GERMANY : That's a bad sign
ITALY -> TURKEY : Yeah I'll stick to the standard for now.
ENGLAND -> FRANCE : Awesome! I've got Yorkshire moving to Belgium.
ENGLAND -> AUSTRIA : Got it. Yeah it's a risky move for Italy. I suppose you'll just have to feel it out.
GERMANY -> RUSSIA : Indeed
ENGLAND -> TURKEY : That's the plan!
GERMANY -> RUSSIA : We'll just have to see what happens
RUSSIA -> GERMANY : Agreed. Let me know if you change your mind and I'm willing to work together
FRANCE -> ENGLAND : Sounds good, I've got Pic supporting Yorkshire to Belgium
AUSTRIA -> ENGLAND : Suppose I will just have to play it out
AUSTRIA -> TURKEY : Well the bounce worked but he is going to Rum this turn with his fleet I believe
AUSTRIA -> RUSSIA : Any idea on how Turkey is moving?
GERMANY -> RUSSIA : Sounds good. Just can't have you run away with the game too early. I'm sure you understand
RUSSIA -> GERMANY : I do
RUSSIA -> AUSTRIA : I think it's safe to assume he'll bounce you in Greece
ENGLAND -> AUSTRIA : Yeah, definitely a tough call. If you want I can reach out to Italy and see what they're up to.
AUSTRIA -> RUSSIA : For sure. Was just curious what he was telling you
ENGLAND -> FRANCE : Perfect. Thanks France. Really appreciate it.
AUSTRIA -> ENGLAND : Would love that but he told me he's doing the Lepanto. So we shall see if that's the case
AUSTRIA -> ITALY : Just a heads up. I am moving to Trieste just for safe keeping. I promise I'm not attacking. Just hate giving openings to stabs lol
AUSTRIA -> GERMANY : Just a heads up. I am moving to Trieste just for keeping it safe. No plan of attacking I promise. Just hate giving openings to stabs lol
RUSSIA -> AUSTRIA : He isn't saying much of anything. I asked him about his moves and all he did was say that he was waiting to hear from you
ENGLAND -> AUSTRIA : Good luck with it. Turkey is in a rough spot.
GERMANY -> AUSTRIA : Yeah. I think that's the only sensible thing to do. Italy moving to Trieste would be bad news
AUSTRIA -> ENGLAND : That he is
AUSTRIA -> GERMANY : Very true
AUSTRIA -> RUSSIA : Suppose we shall see
ENGLAND -> AUSTRIA : Well if you and Italy are going to kill Turkey you're going to have to attack Russia next. So hopefully Russia and Turkey don't make amends!
ITALY -> FRANCE : Just a heads up, Germany mentioned that they're planning to work with England against you.
TURKEY -> GERMANY : Hey Germany, I was wondering if you're going to bounce Russia in Sweden?
GERMANY -> TURKEY : Probably have to! Can't let Russia get away with a six centre start
ENGLAND -> ITALY : Hey Italy! Looks like you've got an A/I alliance against Turkey. That's strong. I just want to warn you about the typical lepanto. The way it typically works out is that Italy is stuck with one army over there, when they should be able to take the whole Turkish peninsula. And you run the risk of being next on the chopping block once Turkey is gone. Just food for thought.
ITALY -> ENGLAND : Thanks for the advice! I'm not planning to send more than one army east for now, so I think I'll be fine.
GERMANY -> AUSTRIA : I'm planning to bounce Russia in Sweden by the way. A 6 centre start Russia is too scary
GERMANY -> ENGLAND : True. Alright, I'll bounce France and support you in next year
ENGLAND -> ITALY : Cool! Sounds good Italy.
ENGLAND -> GERMANY : Thanks Germany. Really appreciate it.
RUSSIA -> FRANCE : Have you gotten a read on Germany at all?
RUSSIA -> ENGLAND : Have you gotten a read on Germany at all? He's been a bit difficult to communicate with
ENGLAND -> RUSSIA : I got a bit more out of them. Definitely sounds like they're on board with helping me bounce Belgium but won't commit to actually moving against France.
FRANCE -> RUSSIA : I've gotten a little bit of a read, do you know what they are planning?
FRANCE -> ITALY : Thanks for the heads up, I appreciate it
RUSSIA -> ENGLAND : Interesting. Sounds like you should expect France to support himself into Bel then?
GERMANY -> FRANCE : England is asking me to support him into Belgium...
ENGLAND -> RUSSIA : That's what they said.
GERMANY -> FRANCE : Don't worry though. I will definitely be blocking Russia from Sweden too
RUSSIA -> ENGLAND : That's unfortunate
ENGLAND -> RUSSIA : Yep. We'll see what happens I guess!
FRANCE -> GERMANY : Thanks for the heads up!
TURKEY -> FRANCE : Hey France, it seems like I'll be busy in the east for a while, I was wondering if you would be willing to help me by attacking Italy at some point.
GERMANY -> FRANCE : No problem
FRANCE -> TURKEY : Hello Turkey! I can definitely help you against Italy in the future, yeah
RUSSIA -> ENGLAND : Yeah. Let's hope Germany lets us both get the extra build. I won't forget that if you need my help later on
GERMANY -> ENGLAND : I'm supporting you from Yorkshire
ENGLAND -> RUSSIA : Sounds good Russia. Sounds like Germany is going to let me in, so fingers crossed.
ENGLAND -> GERMANY : Thanks Germany!
TURKEY -> FRANCE : Alright, that would be great. I'll have to see what's up with Austria and Russia first though.
GERMANY -> ENGLAND : And I'm also bouncing Russia in Sweden
TURKEY -> ENGLAND : Good to hear. I hope everything will go well for you, England is the most difficult country to play in my opinion.
RUSSIA -> ITALY : Have you gotten a read on Austria at all?
FRANCE -> AUSTRIA : How are things shaping up in the east? Is Russia being hostile?
ITALY -> RUSSIA : Yes, Austria just told me that they're concerned about a Juggernaut, but other than that not much.
AUSTRIA -> FRANCE : He hasn't been overtly hostile yet. The Gal bounce was planned
AUSTRIA -> GERMANY : Appreciate that! Would hate to see him pull off a Jug
AUSTRIA -> ENGLAND : That's the plan. Would appreciate it if you and Germany can keep him from getting Sweden
FRANCE -> AUSTRIA : Cool, just trying to get a read on the east
AUSTRIA -> FRANCE : No worries. Trying to get one on my side as well. If Italy decides to stab I'm screwed
FRANCE -> AUSTRIA : Yeah, Austria is tough, you definitely need at least one ally
GERMANY -> AUSTRIA : Good luck in the Balkans!
ENGLAND -> AUSTRIA : That's what we're hoping for.
ENGLAND -> TURKEY : I agree it's certainly a rough one! We'll see what happens.
ENGLAND -> ITALY : Any read on France? Do you think I can trust them to work with me?
ENGLAND -> GERMANY : Sounds good. That'll hopefully keep them from getting too strong. I'll definitely help you into Sweden next year.
AUSTRIA -> ENGLAND : Fingers crossed
AUSTRIA -> GERMANY : Appreciate it! You as well!
TURKEY -> ENGLAND : Good luck!
AUSTRIA -> FRANCE : I'm banking on Italy being my ally. We shall see
FRANCE -> AUSTRIA : Good luck!
ENGLAND -> AUSTRIA : For sure. Good luck Austria!
ENGLAND -> TURKEY : You as well Turkey!
FRANCE -> AUSTRIA : I think Italy would be an easy ally for you, the Lepanto is often successful and you would be in a strong position to team up on Turkey with them
AUSTRIA -> FRANCE : That's the hope. Would love to make it past the first few years
FRANCE -> AUSTRIA : Fingers crossed!
GERMANY -> ENGLAND : Great, thanks
ENGLAND -> GERMANY : Of course!
ITALY -> ENGLAND : They seemed pretty agreeable to a DMZ in Pie, and told me they'd like to team up with you. I'd say it's worth a shot, they won't have any units free to come after you anyway.
ENGLAND -> ITALY : Thanks Italy.

}RUSSIA -> ITALY : What do you make of the Western side of the board?
ITALY -> RUSSIA : Looks like England and Germany are working together against France.
ITALY -> AUSTRIA : No problem. What's your plan for the next year?
AUSTRIA -> ITALY : Thinking that depends on Turkey and Russias builds. My plan is to push Turkey with you then turn north
AUSTRIA -> RUSSIA : Nice! Black but no builds for Turkey!
AUSTRIA -> TURKEY : Thought you were moving to Rum?
ITALY -> AUSTRIA : Sounds good. I'm building a fleet in Nap, and I'll move it into Ion while moving Ion into East Med. We should be able to put some serious pressure on Turkey.
AUSTRIA -> GERMANY : You and England teaming up against France?
AUSTRIA -> TURKEY : And why would you hit Greece?
AUSTRIA -> ITALY : Sounds good
RUSSIA -> AUSTRIA : Yeah, he's in some trouble now. I'm a little worried about the Western side of the board though. I'm hoping France and England can take out Germany quickly, but if not, I'm not sure what we can do
RUSSIA -> ENGLAND : Well, Germany didn't let me have Sweden
RUSSIA -> ITALY : That's a bad sign for me, and a long term threat to you and Austria. If they take out Germany quickly, you will likely be the next target. Would you consider attacking Austria with me?
AUSTRIA -> RUSSIA : Well just gotta play it by ear. I'll reach out to Germany and see what's up
GERMANY -> AUSTRIA : Could be. We'll see how it plays out. Looks like Russia is definitely going for Turkey though
ITALY -> RUSSIA : I think Austria would still like to work with me to take out Turkey, but once Turkey is gone I'll be able to help you against Austria.
TURKEY -> AUSTRIA : Russia told me that he was supporting himself into Rumania, so I thought that you were going to leave Greece empty.
ITALY -> FRANCE : Looks like Germany and England are working together against you.
ENGLAND -> RUSSIA : Ugh, that's rough. My biggest fear is that the A/I alliance against Turkey might quickly turn into an A/I/R alliance. That's rough for you. Especially if Austria is strong too.
RUSSIA -> ITALY : Ok. Thanks for letting me know
ENGLAND -> RUSSIA : That's also strong for Germany!
AUSTRIA -> GERMANY : That's what I'm hoping but still have to play it by ear. So we shall see
AUSTRIA -> TURKEY : Fair enough
RUSSIA -> AUSTRIA : Ok. Sounds good. I'm willing to help you out however I can. I don't really have any other allies on the board at this point
AUSTRIA -> RUSSIA : I appreciate that! Hopefully can take Bul from him this turn
AUSTRIA -> RUSSIA : Or next
ITALY -> RUSSIA : Of course!
GERMANY -> AUSTRIA : Yeah. I'm just hoping there isn't a juggernaut on its way
RUSSIA -> ENGLAND : I agree. I just hope you and France are able to take him out quickly, because I don't have much of a chance if the two of you team up on me
AUSTRIA -> GERMANY : I doubt it at this point but we shall see
RUSSIA -> GERMANY : Just so you know, I will be building an army in Warsaw. It's not an attack on you, I'm just not sure what else I can build that would be helpful at this point
FRANCE -> ITALY : It does, I've got my build in Paris but am not in a great spot
ENGLAND -> RUSSIA : Oh absolutely. I want Germany to fall quickly.
ENGLAND -> RUSSIA : You've got a friend in me.
GERMANY -> AUSTRIA : Indeed
ITALY -> FRANCE : Yes, and it's very likely that Germany is building two armies in Kiel and Mun to send both against you.
RUSSIA -> ENGLAND : Thank you. If you could help me into Sweden this year, I will gladly help you into Denmark next year
GERMANY -> RUSSIA : Thanks for the heads up. Don't worry, I understand that you need to build somewhere
FRANCE -> ITALY : Yup, hopefully I can find a way to convince one of them to work with me
RUSSIA -> GERMANY : Ok. Well, let me know if you change your mind and want to work together
ENGLAND -> RUSSIA : I think that should be doable!
GERMANY -> ENGLAND : Can you build fleets? And I'll build armies?
ITALY -> FRANCE : Good luck, let me know if I can do anything.
ENGLAND -> GERMANY : I'm considering just building one fleet and one army. How do you feel about that? And thanks again for Belgium.
GERMANY -> RUSSIA : Likewise
FRANCE -> ITALY : Thank you, I appreciate it. Do you mind if I build a fleet in Marseilles? I'd like to sneak an army into England but Brest is occupied
GERMANY -> ENGLAND : I think we have to attack France. And armies aren't going to help that...plus I'll need the armies if Russia builds in Warsaw
ITALY -> FRANCE : As long as it's moving into Spain next turn I should be fine.
FRANCE -> ITALY : Cool, that works
FRANCE -> ENGLAND : I have Pic supporting Belgium to hold. Anything else we need to coordinate?
GERMANY -> ENGLAND : Looks like he trusts you. Brest is wide open
GERMANY -> ENGLAND : It will be a lot harder to take Sweden now though
TURKEY -> RUSSIA : Why didn't you move to Galicia?
AUSTRIA -> GERMANY : Looks like France is coming for you with that fleet build in Mar
RUSSIA -> TURKEY : I wasn't sure what Germany was doing and wanted to have the option to build in Warsaw in case he attacked me
ITALY -> FRANCE : Wow, England didn't build in Lvp. That should make your life a lot easier.
RUSSIA -> TURKEY : With the Lepanto opening, I think we are better off working together than trying to fight each other at this point. If we don't, we'll just get crushed by I/A
GERMANY -> FRANCE : I think I let England get the better of our deal. He still wants Belgium though
GERMANY -> AUSTRIA : Could be...hopefully England will help out though
FRANCE -> ITALY : Yup, things are looking up. Are you going to attempt a Lepanto against Turkey?
AUSTRIA -> GERMANY : Yeah that's the hope. He has hinted at that to me but not a lot of direct cooperation
GERMANY -> FRANCE : Are you moving against Italy with that fleet?
FRANCE -> ITALY : Also, just a heads up that I'm moving Marseilles to Gulf of Lyon
ENGLAND -> GERMANY : Yep. We can't take it now. Are you ok to keep bouncing? If Russia ever gets it then they'll probably come after you next.
GERMANY -> AUSTRIA : I'm actually a bit worried about Russia. But England is at least looking cooperative. How do things look in the south?
GERMANY -> AUSTRIA : I'm tempted to go all out against France and let Russia into Sweden...
ENGLAND -> FRANCE : Thanks France. That's perfect. Do you want me to support Paris to Burgundy?
FRANCE -> ENGLAND : That's be great
TURKEY -> ITALY : Hey, what are you up to now?
FRANCE -> GERMANY : Sorry, I've been busy recently. Are you still interested in working together against England?
TURKEY -> RUSSIA : Yeah, I agree.
RUSSIA -> TURKEY : What do you suggest?
GERMANY -> FRANCE : Yes, but it's a little awkward now. We don't have enough fleets
ITALY -> TURKEY : Not much, I'll stick with the standard Lepanto for now. How about you?
ENGLAND -> FRANCE : You got it!
FRANCE -> GERMANY : Yup, I'll send the fleets north. It's better to move against England before they get control of the seas
AUSTRIA -> RUSSIA : Gotta say that army build in War is a bit concerning
AUSTRIA -> GERMANY : That's probably your best move. I am worried about Russia as well with that army build in War. We shall see how this next turn goes. If that army pushes west it's not good
RUSSIA -> AUSTRIA : That's understandable. I'm not sure what I can do with it at this point. Do you have an idea for what to do with it?
ITALY -> FRANCE : Thanks for the heads up! I plan to continue on with the standard Lepanto.
GERMANY -> AUSTRIA : Yeah. We can't have Russia get a build. Well, not yet at least
TURKEY -> ITALY : I might try for Greece, although it doesn't look like I'll be able to take it.
FRANCE -> ITALY : Great, I'm hoping it's successful
GERMANY -> FRANCE : Are you moving to the mid Atlantic or the Mediterranean?
FRANCE -> GERMANY : I'm sending Portugal to MAO
GERMANY -> FRANCE : What will you do with the fleet in Marseille?
AUSTRIA -> RUSSIA : Not really. Was just hoping you wouldn't bring it into Gal lol
AUSTRIA -> GERMANY : We shall see what he does with it
FRANCE -> GERMANY : It'll go to Spain SC
GERMANY -> AUSTRIA : He says he's moving it to the Atlantic
ENGLAND -> RUSSIA : I'm not going to support you in in the spring, but I should be able to in the fall.
ITALY -> AUSTRIA : Turkey just told me they're planning to try for Greece.
GERMANY -> FRANCE : Sounds good. I think England may move to the Channel this turn
TURKEY -> AUSTRIA : What are you up to now?
FRANCE -> GERMANY : I hope not, that would make things a lot harder
AUSTRIA -> ITALY : He's gonna bounce in East Med? I can move to the Aegean and put some pressure on Bul
AUSTRIA -> TURKEY : Trying to figure that out. Worried about Russia. That army in War has me on edge
GERMANY -> FRANCE : True
ITALY -> AUSTRIA : Sounds good. I'll move to East Med and we should be in a good spot.
ITALY -> ENGLAND : Hey England, how are things going?
TURKEY -> AUSTRIA : Yeah, I would be too.
ENGLAND -> ITALY : Hey Italy! Pretty well so far. Looks like things are going pretty well for you too. That A/I alliance is a powerful one.
AUSTRIA -> ITALY : Agreed
ITALY -> ENGLAND : Yep, I can't complain. You and Germany look to be on the same page, are you planning to continue working together?
GERMANY -> AUSTRIA : Looks like you're all set for a Lepanto though
ENGLAND -> ITALY : That's the plan!
AUSTRIA -> ENGLAND : You gunning for Russia up north?
GERMANY -> RUSSIA : Still willing to work together, if circumstances permit
ITALY -> ENGLAND : Sounds good!
AUSTRIA -> GERMANY : The hope!
RUSSIA -> ENGLAND : I appreciate it. And I'll be sure to return the favor whenever you need it
RUSSIA -> AUSTRIA : Would you be open to a bounce?
GERMANY -> ENGLAND : Yeah. Can you support me into Burgundy?
AUSTRIA -> RUSSIA : I'd rather not. I'm hoping we can make it a DMZ?
AUSTRIA -> RUSSIA : I'm shifting my armies south. Trying to line up to take out Bul
RUSSIA -> AUSTRIA : Well, I'm not really sure what else to do with my armies
RUSSIA -> GERMANY : Ok. What do you have in mind?
ENGLAND -> AUSTRIA : That's the plan! Want to join in?
AUSTRIA -> RUSSIA : Shift them north? To protect against England?
RUSSIA -> AUSTRIA : I was considering that
RUSSIA -> AUSTRIA : Are you and Italy still going after Turkey?
ENGLAND -> GERMANY : Sure thing!
AUSTRIA -> ENGLAND : I'm gonna wait and see how this next turn goes. The army build in War makes me a bit nervous
AUSTRIA -> RUSSIA : That's the plan. Gotta get into the Aegean and take Bul
RUSSIA -> AUSTRIA : Sounds good to me
AUSTRIA -> RUSSIA : I'm sure I don't need to warn you but England is definitely gunning for you
ENGLAND -> RUSSIA : Thanks Russia.
ITALY -> GERMANY : Hey Germany, how are things going?
ENGLAND -> AUSTRIA : Sounds good! Keep me posted.
RUSSIA -> ENGLAND : Hey, just to keep you in the loop, I'm gonna send my armies North. Not to attack you, but I think Germany will take the Warsaw army as an aggressive move towards him
RUSSIA -> ENGLAND : Don't want to attack him, but I don't want him to think I'm just leaving him alone
ENGLAND -> RUSSIA : Gotcha. Thanks for letting me know.
GERMANY -> ENGLAND : Thanks. From Ruhr
AUSTRIA -> ENGLAND : Will do
GERMANY -> RUSSIA : Not sure yet...France or England
GERMANY -> ITALY : Well. Not bad for Germany! How are things for you?
ENGLAND -> GERMANY : Oh I can't support you into Burgundy. France is helping me hold Belgium and I can't break that this turn.
AUSTRIA -> ITALY : You heard much from Russia?
AUSTRIA -> TURKEY : Looks like England is going for Russia. May provide a bit of a respite for us
GERMANY -> ENGLAND : Not a problem. Is he moving Picardy out?
ENGLAND -> ITALY : Are you worried about France coming after you? That fleet in Marseilles makes me nervous.
ENGLAND -> GERMANY : That's what he told me. It should be free to move in the fall.
ITALY -> ENGLAND : I am, but I feel like I'm on pretty good terms with them at the moment, and I don't think they'd want to pick a fight with both of us.
ITALY -> GERMANY : I can't complain! Just curious, do you know what's going on with Russia?
GERMANY -> AUSTRIA : Did Russia tell you about his army build in Warsaw?
AUSTRIA -> GERMANY : Nope. He's playing it close to his chest
ENGLAND -> ITALY : Fair enough!
GERMANY -> AUSTRIA : Makes sense
GERMANY -> ITALY : Not sure...I'm a bit nervous about it
ITALY -> AUSTRIA : Russia wants me to help them attack you, but I don't see why I'd do that when I have so much more to gain by attacking Turkey.
ITALY -> ENGLAND : Thanks for the concern though!
AUSTRIA -> ITALY : Exactly my thoughts
ITALY -> GERMANY : I can't say I blame you. Do you think England will be able to help you out against them?
AUSTRIA -> GERMANY : I'm nervous
ITALY -> AUSTRIA : Sounds good. Any idea what they're doing with the army in War?
TURKEY -> ENGLAND : Are you planning to attack Russia now?
AUSTRIA -> ITALY : He's keeping it close to his chest. I assume it's moving to Gal but I'm hoping he keeps it out
GERMANY -> ITALY : I think so
GERMANY -> AUSTRIA : Same. I think I'm going to have to let Russia into Sweden
AUSTRIA -> GERMANY : Hear anything from him?
ENGLAND -> TURKEY : I think that's the play!
AUSTRIA -> GERMANY : Agreed. Can't have England taking all the north
ITALY -> AUSTRIA : Makes sense. Good luck!
ITALY -> GERMANY : Good luck!
GERMANY -> ITALY : Thanks. Are you all set for the Lepanto?
AUSTRIA -> ITALY : You too
GERMANY -> AUSTRIA : I know. But if I let him in now, he can take St. Petersburg soon enough
AUSTRIA -> GERMANY : You can probably play England off against Russia. He's asked me about attacking Russia
AUSTRIA -> GERMANY : I get it though. No real good options
GERMANY -> AUSTRIA : England and I are working against France
GERMANY -> ENGLAND : We might be able to take St. Petersburg soon
GERMANY -> ENGLAND : We'll need to support each other to take Sweden and St. Petersburg
GERMANY -> RUSSIA : I'll let you into Sweden
TURKEY -> ENGLAND : Good luck!
AUSTRIA -> GERMANY : Gotcha
ENGLAND -> GERMANY : Yeah, I'm going to move Norway to Stp. Hopefully that's successful. Then I can move a fleet into Norway to support you into Sweden.
ENGLAND -> TURKEY : Thanks Turkey! You're looking a little squished down there. You think you'll be able to survive?
GERMANY -> ENGLAND : Awesome. I'm thinking I'm moving the fleet to the Baltic and moving Kiel into Denmark
GERMANY -> AUSTRIA : Got England on board
TURKEY -> ENGLAND : I hope so, we'll see.
AUSTRIA -> GERMANY : Sounds good. Glad I can provide some intel
ENGLAND -> TURKEY : If you survive, maybe we can find a way to work together!
GERMANY -> AUSTRIA : Thanks. It will be interesting to see how this next turn goes
ENGLAND -> GERMANY : Sounds good!
GERMANY -> ENGLAND : It's been a pleasure working with you
ENGLAND -> GERMANY : You as well Germany!
AUSTRIA -> GERMANY : Indeed
TURKEY -> ENGLAND : That would be great, thanks!
RUSSIA -> ITALY : Are you still planning to attack Turkey? It looks like you have an army in Tunis
ENGLAND -> TURKEY : You bet!
RUSSIA -> GERMANY : Ok. Thanks
ITALY -> RUSSIA : Yep, I'm still planning to attack Turkey.
RUSSIA -> ITALY : Ok. Sounds good
AUSTRIA -> FRANCE : Interesting build in Mar
TURKEY -> GERMANY : Thanks for bouncing him.
GERMANY -> TURKEY : No problem. I'm worried about the Lepanto too. Are you working with Russia?
TURKEY -> GERMANY : I am, but I might end up having to fight both him and Austria.
GERMANY -> ENGLAND : Are you moving the fleet in Edinburgh to the Norwegian Sea? Or is it heading for Barents?
GERMANY -> TURKEY : I might have a proposal for you soon
ENGLAND -> GERMANY : It's heading to North Sea.
GERMANY -> ENGLAND : That makes sense
ENGLAND -> GERMANY : Thanks Germany
GERMANY -> ENGLAND : Do you want me to support hold Belgium?
GERMANY -> ENGLAND : I have Holland supporting Belgium
ENGLAND -> GERMANY : Thanks, but there's no need. I've got it handled.
TURKEY -> FRANCE : Are you going to send those fleets after Italy now?
TURKEY -> ITALY : Are you sticking with the standard Lepanto for now?
ITALY -> TURKEY : Yep, that's the plan.
TURKEY -> ITALY : Alright, good luck!

ENGLAND -> GERMANY : That's fair. I'm sorry. I got greedy.
FRANCE -> TURKEY : Sorry, I forgot to reply. I'm going to be focused on the north for a bit
FRANCE -> AUSTRIA : Yup, I got lucky that England didn't build in Liverpool
FRANCE -> GERMANY : Oh, shoot, I could have moved to EC but Burgundy was just in case you were trying to trick me
TURKEY -> FRANCE : That's alright, good luck in the north.
FRANCE -> ITALY : Good luck in the east!
FRANCE -> GERMANY : Do you mind if I take Belgium?
TURKEY -> ITALY : You could have just asked me to support you into the Aegean, why try to hide the Lepanto?
FRANCE -> ENGLAND : Thanks for the support, looks like you are going to pick up some German Scs
FRANCE -> TURKEY : Thanks, hopefully you can hold on!
TURKEY -> ITALY : Also, it looks like France is coming after you, why stick with the Lepanto?
TURKEY -> FRANCE : I'll try.
FRANCE -> TURKEY : Have you been able to find an ally?
GERMANY -> ENGLAND : We can work this out
GERMANY -> FRANCE : I don't have a problem if you take Belgium. Do you want my support?
ITALY -> FRANCE : Thanks! You too in the north.
GERMANY -> FRANCE : I can support you from Holland
FRANCE -> GERMANY : Yes, thank you! From there I can help you defend Holland next turn
FRANCE -> ITALY : Thanks!
ITALY -> TURKEY : Not trying to hide anything, I just wanted to make sure I got into East Med.
GERMANY -> RUSSIA : Can you support Denmark?
GERMANY -> RUSSIA : I'll owe you one later
TURKEY -> FRANCE : I think so, but I can't be sure yet.
ITALY -> FRANCE : Do you know what's going on with England? Their moves seem weird to me.
ITALY -> TURKEY : I don't really have much choice but to stick with the standard Lepanto at this point, unless something changes drastically.
GERMANY -> FRANCE : Awesome!
ITALY -> ENGLAND : Interesting moves, are you planning to attack Germany?
TURKEY -> FRANCE : Italy is being kind of weird though, he said he wanted to do the Lepanto and then changed his mind, I have no idea what he's up to.
TURKEY -> ITALY : Yeah, I guess.
ENGLAND -> GERMANY : I'm listening.
ENGLAND -> ITALY : That's the plan! They seem upset though.
ENGLAND -> FRANCE : Thanks France! Any chance you can tap Ruhr?
ENGLAND -> GERMANY : What do you have in mind?
ITALY -> ENGLAND : Why's that?
ENGLAND -> ITALY : Because I didn't do exactly what they wanted.
FRANCE -> ENGLAND : I could but it might make more sense for you to convoy to Holland with support from Belgium, if it works, Germany will have to disband the army. If it doesn't work you can still take Denmark
FRANCE -> ITALY : England wants me to tap Ruhr so they can try to convoy to Holland, I'm trying to convince them to move Belgium to Holland though
FRANCE -> TURKEY : That's strange, the Lepanto is pretty standard though. Are you going to try to work with Russia or Austria?
TURKEY -> FRANCE : I haven't decided yet, I'll get back to you later.
ITALY -> FRANCE : Alright, that makes sense. Thanks for letting me know.
FRANCE -> ITALY : No problem
TURKEY -> AUSTRIA : Looks like you're going for a Lepanto with Italy, why not go for Russia instead?
RUSSIA -> AUSTRIA : Thank you for the heads up
ENGLAND -> FRANCE : That's a good idea too. Do you have a preference?
TURKEY -> RUSSIA : What's up with those weird army moves?
RUSSIA -> TURKEY : Just wanted to protect St Pete
AUSTRIA -> RUSSIA : No problem. Glad I can provide some intel
FRANCE -> ENGLAND : Not really, I was thinking I'd tap Ruhr in case they try to take Burgundy. A successful convoy to Holland puts you in a great spot
AUSTRIA -> ITALY : I'll support you into East Med?
AUSTRIA -> TURKEY : Wasn't really going for a Lepanto. Was concerned about you trying for Greece
FRANCE -> ENGLAND : What are your thoughts?
AUSTRIA -> FRANCE : I'm surprised he didn't
RUSSIA -> AUSTRIA : How do you want to play this turn?
AUSTRIA -> FRANCE : I guess he wants to fight Germany more
ITALY -> AUSTRIA : That would be great, thanks!
AUSTRIA -> ITALY : Of course
TURKEY -> ENGLAND : Why are you and France attacking Germany?
FRANCE -> AUSTRIA : True, he's in a good spot though
AUSTRIA -> FRANCE : And he'll be getting Denmark. I think he's in a good spot too
AUSTRIA -> RUSSIA : Do you want me to support hold Rum?
AUSTRIA -> FRANCE : You worried about a Russian English alliance?
RUSSIA -> AUSTRIA : That would be appreciated
ENGLAND -> TURKEY : It's all part of my evil plan to turn everyone against me!
RUSSIA -> AUSTRIA : Have you and Italy been able to coordinate moves this turn?
TURKEY -> ENGLAND : You're doing a great job!
AUSTRIA -> ITALY : After that, we can get you into Smy?
AUSTRIA -> RUSSIA : We are trying to. Hopefully we can this turn
ITALY -> AUSTRIA : Yep, that's the plan!
RUSSIA -> AUSTRIA : Ok. Just let me know what I can do to help
FRANCE -> AUSTRIA : I am a little, are you?
AUSTRIA -> ITALY : Awesome!
AUSTRIA -> FRANCE : Definitely. Him giving up St.p is a little concerning
ITALY -> AUSTRIA : What are you planning to do with the fleet in AEG?
RUSSIA -> ENGLAND : Do you need me to do anything with Sweden this turn?
ENGLAND -> RUSSIA : Any chance you can support Ska to Den?
FRANCE -> AUSTRIA : I'm assuming you are working with Italy against Turkey?
ENGLAND -> RUSSIA : I appreciate it if you do, but I won't take it personally if you don't.
ENGLAND -> FRANCE : I think that's a good plan. Keeps things simple.
AUSTRIA -> FRANCE : Indeed
AUSTRIA -> ITALY : Supporting you into East Med
ITALY -> AUSTRIA : Sounds good!
FRANCE -> ENGLAND : Great!
FRANCE -> AUSTRIA : That's good to hear
FRANCE -> GERMANY : Are you worried about a Russian English alliance?
GERMANY -> ENGLAND : Well for starters, don't attack me
GERMANY -> FRANCE : I am. But there's not a lot I can do about it right now
TURKEY -> GERMANY : Was that an attack by France and England planned, or are they attacking you?
TURKEY -> FRANCE : How would you recommend me to work with them?
FRANCE -> GERMANY : True, good luck!
FRANCE -> TURKEY : I don't really know, it's tough
RUSSIA -> ITALY : Have you and Austria been able to coordinate moves this turn?
GERMANY -> TURKEY : France wasn't part of it. England was
RUSSIA -> ENGLAND : I'm just trying to see what would be the most helpful
ITALY -> RUSSIA : Yes, we're planning to move to East Med and then Smy next year.
GERMANY -> FRANCE : You too!
RUSSIA -> ITALY : Ok. Sounds good
TURKEY -> GERMANY : Why would England attack you?
GERMANY -> TURKEY : To win
ITALY -> RUSSIA : Any idea what Germany is doing with their move to the Baltic?
TURKEY -> RUSSIA : If you don't attack Austria soon, Austria and Italy will kill me, then go after you.
FRANCE -> GERMANY : Have you been able to find an ally in the east?
GERMANY -> FRANCE : I have a tentative one
FRANCE -> GERMANY : Who?
RUSSIA -> TURKEY : I agree. I'll do what I can to get in position to attack Austria
TURKEY -> RUSSIA : Thanks, I really appreciate it.
RUSSIA -> ITALY : Not sure. I hope he isn't trying to attack me
ENGLAND -> GERMANY : Fair enough. What's your plan?
RUSSIA -> AUSTRIA : You planning to support Italy into Eastern Med this turn?
AUSTRIA -> RUSSIA : That's the plan
GERMANY -> FRANCE : I can't say yet
RUSSIA -> AUSTRIA : Sounds good
FRANCE -> GERMANY : That's interesting, I'm assuming it's Austria?
FRANCE -> GERMANY : I'm trying to figure out what England is planning
GERMANY -> FRANCE : Either Austria or Russia
GERMANY -> AUSTRIA : Are you working with Russia against Turkey?
AUSTRIA -> GERMANY : That's the plan for the time being
ITALY -> RUSSIA : I wouldn't put it past him.
RUSSIA -> ITALY : Yea. I would agree with that
RUSSIA -> ENGLAND : I'm gonna try to bounce myself in St Pete. Let me know if that messes up your plans at all
AUSTRIA -> ENGLAND : I'm surprised you didn't take St.p
RUSSIA -> AUSTRIA : If I hold in Rum this turn, would you be open to me supporting you into Bulgaria next year?
ITALY -> RUSSIA : Good luck!
RUSSIA -> ITALY : You too
ENGLAND -> AUSTRIA : I got greedy and wanted to take two German Scs. Should have done it last year though.
ENGLAND -> RUSSIA : That works!
GERMANY -> ITALY : It appears that England has turned on me
ITALY -> GERMANY : France told me that England wants them to tap Ruhr so they can try to convoy Belgium to Holland, though I'm not sure how legit that is.
FRANCE -> GERMANY : That's fair, I guess we will find out soon
FRANCE -> RUSSIA : Are you working with England against Germany?
RUSSIA -> FRANCE : Yea. I think we are. Why?
FRANCE -> RUSSIA : Just trying to figure out who is on my side up here
GERMANY -> FRANCE : Are you attacking Belgium from Burgundy?
GERMANY -> ITALY : Interesting. Thanks
RUSSIA -> FRANCE : I'm also trying to figure that out. It looks like England hasn't made any real enemies yet
FRANCE -> GERMANY : I was planning on attacking from Picardy with support from Burgundy
FRANCE -> RUSSIA : They haven't attacked me and are in a good spot to pick up a couple German Scs
ITALY -> GERMANY : No problem. Good luck!
FRANCE -> RUSSIA : I'm just trying to figure out where we all stand
AUSTRIA -> ENGLAND : You'll probably be able to get Den and Hol this turn
RUSSIA -> FRANCE : Yea. That's also fair. I'm just trying to see if you and Germany would be willing to work against England
FRANCE -> RUSSIA : I think Germany would be open to it, they are in a rough spot
RUSSIA -> FRANCE : Yea. I would have to agree with you there
FRANCE -> RUSSIA : What are you thinking?
RUSSIA -> FRANCE : I would be open to going after England
FRANCE -> RUSSIA : Great! If you move to Stp we should be able to make quick work of them
RUSSIA -> FRANCE : That's the plan
TURKEY -> GERMANY : What's your proposal?
GERMANY -> FRANCE : Ok. I'll support Burgundy. I just wanted to make sure

FRANCE -> RUSSIA : Yeah they are getting a little strong
AUSTRIA -> FRANCE : I'll see if I can talk to them too
FRANCE -> AUSTRIA : Thank you
RUSSIA -> FRANCE : They really are
FRANCE -> RUSSIA : Once Turkey falls though they will have nowhere to go except towards you
RUSSIA -> AUSTRIA : What are you thinking for your next target?
FRANCE -> AUSTRIA : They seem hesitant to turn on Germany but I'll try to convince them that you would be their next logical target once Turkey falls
AUSTRIA -> RUSSIA : Probably Italy. What about you?
AUSTRIA -> FRANCE : Thanks. I'll keep working on them
AUSTRIA -> GERMANY : So where do you see things going from here? You've made some nice progress against France
FRANCE -> AUSTRIA : You're welcome, I appreciate the help
GERMANY -> AUSTRIA : Hopefully into France. I imagine you'll finish off Turkey and go after Italy?
RUSSIA -> FRANCE : That's very true. But they also have Italy to potentially deal with
RUSSIA -> AUSTRIA : I'm not totally sure. I feel like there's not a whole lot I can do against Italy right now. What are you thinking?
FRANCE -> RUSSIA : True
AUSTRIA -> GERMANY : That's the plan
AUSTRIA -> RUSSIA : Not too sure. We are kind of in a tough spot with Con
GERMANY -> AUSTRIA : Good luck
RUSSIA -> FRANCE : So what are you thinking? You finishing off England and then going after Germany?
RUSSIA -> AUSTRIA : Have you and Italy worked out who gets it?
FRANCE -> RUSSIA : That's the plan, and if we both attack simultaneously it should go pretty well
RUSSIA -> FRANCE : Ok. I would be on board with that
AUSTRIA -> RUSSIA : Not yet
RUSSIA -> AUSTRIA : Well what are you thinking after Turkey falls?
AUSTRIA -> RUSSIA : Not totally sure. I'm open to suggestions
RUSSIA -> AUSTRIA : Well we should wait and see what Italy does with their fleet in Naples. If they attack France it'll be pretty easy for you to take them on
FRANCE -> RUSSIA : Awesome, I'm assuming you will move towards Austria for the time being?
FRANCE -> TURKEY : Sorry about your situation, wishing I could help
RUSSIA -> FRANCE : Yea
AUSTRIA -> RUSSIA : Good point
TURKEY -> FRANCE : Don't worry about it, I probably should have realized that letting Italy into the Eastern Med was a bad idea sooner, but I didn't.
FRANCE -> RUSSIA : Sounds good, I wish you luck
RUSSIA -> FRANCE : I'm gonna try to move my fleet in Norway to Norwegian Sea. I'm assuming you're going to take Clyde this turn and then Edi next
FRANCE -> ITALY : What are your plans for the army in Piedmont?
FRANCE -> RUSSIA : Yep that's the plan
RUSSIA -> AUSTRIA : And what's the plan for the armies in Bud and Vienna?
FRANCE -> TURKEY : Yeah it happens to the best of us
RUSSIA -> FRANCE : Cool
FRANCE -> ITALY : Are you concerned about the Austrian fleet build?
FRANCE -> AUSTRIA : What are you planning with the fleet in Trieste? Is it just to help clean up Turkey or are you considering an attack on Italy?
RUSSIA -> AUSTRIA : Bounce in Galicia?
AUSTRIA -> FRANCE : Still not sure. I may move it to Alb just to cover Greece
ITALY -> FRANCE : It looks like I'm going to have to turn around and defend myself now, so I don't expect to be sending that army west anymore.
ITALY -> FRANCE : That fleet can only be used to attack me, so it's a pretty aggressive build against me.
AUSTRIA -> RUSSIA : Still deciding on that. May just park one of them
FRANCE -> AUSTRIA : Makes sense
FRANCE -> ITALY : Okay sounds good, good luck
ITALY -> FRANCE : Thanks, you too.
ITALY -> FRANCE : Are you planning to take all of England's centers?
RUSSIA -> AUSTRIA : Ok. That sounds good
FRANCE -> ITALY : That's the plan unless something unexpected happens
AUSTRIA -> FRANCE : How about you? Are you just going to let Germany keep pounding you?
AUSTRIA -> RUSSIA : Do you plan to convoy Rum over to Arm?
FRANCE -> AUSTRIA : I'll probably need Russian help but I can hold them off for now
RUSSIA -> AUSTRIA : Still figuring that out
AUSTRIA -> FRANCE : Cool
AUSTRIA -> RUSSIA : Ok
ITALY -> FRANCE : That's good. It would be a shame if you got into a stalemate over England and Germany did well against you.
FRANCE -> ITALY : That would certainly be unfortunate
FRANCE -> AUSTRIA : What about you? Are you planning on moving against either Italy or Russia?
ITALY -> GERMANY : Looks like England is pretty much defeated. Are you planning to try to take Scandinavia from Russia or continue against France?
ITALY -> FRANCE : Good luck against Germany then. I hope you break through.
FRANCE -> ITALY : I'll need it
ITALY -> FRANCE : Any chance you could convince Russia to take some centers from Germany?
GERMANY -> ITALY : For the time being I have to focus on France. Once he's dealt with I can reevaluate
ITALY -> GERMANY : Alright, good luck!
GERMANY -> ITALY : Are you worried about Austria?
FRANCE -> ITALY : I've been trying but so far they haven't been very receptive
ITALY -> GERMANY : I am, that fleet build doesn't really seem to have any purpose except to be used against me.
FRANCE -> ITALY : I'll keep trying though
GERMANY -> ITALY : Same
ITALY -> GERMANY : I guess we'll see this turn though.
AUSTRIA -> FRANCE : That's the big question
ITALY -> FRANCE : I'll see if I can get them to change their mind once Turkey is eliminated.
FRANCE -> AUSTRIA : It seems like that's what it's going to end up being
FRANCE -> ITALY : That would be much appreciated, and if not I would still like to maintain our alliance
AUSTRIA -> FRANCE : I wouldn't be so sure
AUSTRIA -> FRANCE : Although Russia is making me a little nervous
GERMANY -> ITALY : I hope for both of our sakes that you're right
FRANCE -> AUSTRIA : Yeah, whatever you decide to do I wish you luck
ITALY -> GERMANY : Yeah, it would be a shame if we had to defend against Austria while fighting France.
AUSTRIA -> FRANCE : Thanks. You too
ITALY -> FRANCE : Same here, it would be good for both of us.
GERMANY -> ITALY : Yes it would
FRANCE -> ITALY : Agreed
RUSSIA -> AUSTRIA : What are you thinking about Italy?
AUSTRIA -> RUSSIA : I think I may wait and see how they move this turn. If it looks like they might go for France, I'd probably stab them
RUSSIA -> AUSTRIA : That's probably smart
AUSTRIA -> RUSSIA : How are you feeling about Germany?
RUSSIA -> AUSTRIA : I don't really have any feelings about them one way or the other. I'm kinda waiting to see how they interact with France
AUSTRIA -> RUSSIA : Gotcha

GERMANY -> FRANCE : Are you referring to my army in Burgundy?
FRANCE -> GERMANY : Yeah
FRANCE -> GERMANY : You can't get through unless you get another fleet in there
GERMANY -> FRANCE : That's true
FRANCE -> GERMANY : So if you are willing to work with me I'm sure we could find a way around it
FRANCE -> GERMANY : You would have to move against Russia or Austria though
GERMANY -> FRANCE : What would you propose?
FRANCE -> GERMANY : Well that would depend on your answer
GERMANY -> FRANCE : I haven't thought of one yet
FRANCE -> GERMANY : Well I'm willing to work with you
GERMANY -> FRANCE : What do you suggest?
FRANCE -> GERMANY : I would ask you to retreat out of Picardy and Burgundy but you would need to use the North Sea fleet to help me in the North
GERMANY -> FRANCE : That could work
FRANCE -> GERMANY : So would you be willing to do that?
GERMANY -> FRANCE : I don't have much of a choice do I
GERMANY -> FRANCE : I
FRANCE -> GERMANY : Alright sounds good
GERMANY -> FRANCE : Where do we go from there?
FRANCE -> GERMANY : You could then use the North Sea fleet to help me fight Russia in the north and use the armies to fight Austria
GERMANY -> FRANCE : And once I turn my armies east?
FRANCE -> GERMANY : You would use those armies to continue east
FRANCE -> RUSSIA : Why the move to NAO?
GERMANY -> FRANCE : I have nowhere to go other than east
RUSSIA -> FRANCE : I'm gonna move my fleet in Norwegian Sea to Norway and then try to take North Sea
GERMANY -> AUSTRIA : I can't seem to crack France. Do you have any idea what I can do?
GERMANY -> ITALY : I can't seem to crack France. Any ideas?
ITALY -> GERMANY : I'm not sure. Do you know why Russia moved to NAO?
AUSTRIA -> GERMANY : I'd suggest working with England. Their fleet could be very helpful
GERMANY -> ITALY : I have no idea
FRANCE -> GERMANY : You would also have Scandinavia and Russian centers
AUSTRIA -> RUSSIA : Nice move. Didn't see that one coming
AUSTRIA -> RUSSIA : Guess we'll see how long your alliance with Italy lasts
GERMANY -> FRANCE : That's true, but then I have nowhere to go after that
FRANCE -> RUSSIA : Okay
GERMANY -> FRANCE : My plan was to just turn my armies east and get Scandinavia and the English centers
GERMANY -> AUSTRIA : England's fleet is almost dead
GERMANY -> AUSTRIA : Unless Russia helps
AUSTRIA -> GERMANY : Yeah, I see that now
AUSTRIA -> GERMANY : Probably too late
ITALY -> GERMANY : Well it's a good thing you got into Bur, it's going to be much easier to break through now.
GERMANY -> ITALY : That's true. I have to think through what I'm going to do next
GERMANY -> ITALY : I just hope Russia doesn't decide to come after me
GERMANY -> AUSTRIA : He only has one center left
GERMANY -> AUSTRIA : Unless he abandons it
RUSSIA -> FRANCE : I'm assuming you are retreating to Mid-atlantic. If you are, we could set up a bounce with your fleet in Mid and my fleet in NAO to make it look like we are fighting so Germany will move some of their forces back east
AUSTRIA -> GERMANY : Oh right. Forgot about that one
FRANCE -> RUSSIA : That sounds good to me
GERMANY -> AUSTRIA : Yeah
FRANCE -> GERMANY : Well that plan works until Russia stabs you and takes all of your centers
ITALY -> GERMANY : I'm not sure they'll have the capacity to do so with all their armies concentrated in the south, but we'll have to see.
RUSSIA -> AUSTRIA : Thanks. And I guess we will
RUSSIA -> FRANCE : Perfect
AUSTRIA -> RUSSIA : I hope it's a while because it won't be good for either of us
AUSTRIA -> RUSSIA : I'm going to have trouble holding you off with Italy pounding me from the other side
GERMANY -> FRANCE : I would still have a counterattack in case he did that
GERMANY -> FRANCE : I'll pull back from Picardy. I'm not going to retreat from Burgundy yet. I will leave Picardy once we've come up with a plan
GERMANY -> ITALY : That's true. He is still pretty well tied down in the south
GERMANY -> ITALY : Are you planning to help him against Austria?
FRANCE -> GERMANY : Okay, do you have a counterattack plan yet?
ITALY -> GERMANY : That's the plan right now. They need to be kept in check, and if they're kept busy in the south, that leaves Scandinavia pretty wide open.
RUSSIA -> AUSTRIA : I agree. And I also think it'll be very bad for both of us. But I also didn't have a whole lot of options last turn
RUSSIA -> AUSTRIA : If we both decided to attack Italy, what would the plan be?
GERMANY -> FRANCE : Not really
FRANCE -> GERMANY : Okay, well once you do I can try to come up with one
AUSTRIA -> RUSSIA : I'm not sure. I think we could take Con and maybe Ank this year
AUSTRIA -> RUSSIA : I'm open to other ideas too
GERMANY -> FRANCE : We've still got some time
RUSSIA -> AUSTRIA : Well Turkey is done for
RUSSIA -> AUSTRIA : As long as we can prevent Italy from taking Ankara
AUSTRIA -> RUSSIA : Yep
GERMANY -> FRANCE : I've come up with one
FRANCE -> GERMANY : Okay, do you want to share it with me?
GERMANY -> FRANCE : I was thinking of moving from Burgundy to Gascony and from Ruhr to Burgundy
GERMANY -> FRANCE : Then I could march my armies down into Italy
FRANCE -> AUSTRIA : Well it looks like you and Italy are going to be working together against Russia now
AUSTRIA -> FRANCE : Unless Italy is planning to stab me, yes
AUSTRIA -> FRANCE : We shall see
FRANCE -> AUSTRIA : We shall
FRANCE -> GERMANY : You wouldn't be able to attack Italy because you'd need a fleet in the Mediterranean
GERMANY -> FRANCE : That's true, but I couldn't get one down there without taking some of your centers
FRANCE -> GERMANY : Well if you want to work with me then we should find a way
GERMANY -> FRANCE : I'm open to suggestions
GERMANY -> FRANCE : We need to find a way to get England out of the English Channel
FRANCE -> GERMANY : I'll take care of that
GERMANY -> FRANCE : Will you take it with your fleet in Brest or with your fleet in the Mid-atlantic Ocean?
FRANCE -> GERMANY : I'm not going to tell you my plans in that area
FRANCE -> GERMANY : What I am willing to share with you though is that I can support you into the Norwegian Sea from Edinburgh
GERMANY -> FRANCE : That's fine with me, but I'm not going to do it this turn
GERMANY -> FRANCE : You can support my fleet in the North Sea
FRANCE -> GERMANY : Okay, sounds good
GERMANY -> FRANCE : Don't support the move to the Norwegian Sea
FRANCE -> GERMANY : Okay, do you know what Russia is doing with that fleet?
GERMANY -> FRANCE : I don't
GERMANY -> FRANCE : It could be going after you
FRANCE -> GERMANY : Yeah that's true
GERMANY -> FRANCE : So are we agreed that you will support my hold in the North Sea?

}AUSTRIA -> FRANCE : I guess that's the answer
FRANCE -> AUSTRIA : Well it looks like Italy is going after Germany now
FRANCE -> GERMANY : So is Italy coming for you now?
GERMANY -> FRANCE : It certainly looks like it
AUSTRIA -> FRANCE : Or me
AUSTRIA -> FRANCE : They're gonna help Russia knock me out first I bet
FRANCE -> GERMANY : If you retreat out of Burgundy and Picardy like we agreed then I'll use my fleets to help you
FRANCE -> AUSTRIA : I think you are the more likely target since they moved to Tyrolia
GERMANY -> FRANCE : That's true
FRANCE -> GERMANY : So are you going to retreat?
FRANCE -> GERMANY : Or do you want to continue fighting me?
GERMANY -> FRANCE : If Italy is attacking me, I can't afford to leave you alone
GERMANY -> FRANCE : If I back away, you will just come back after me
FRANCE -> GERMANY : If you don't leave me alone I will keep fighting you
AUSTRIA -> FRANCE : It's looking that way unfortunately
GERMANY -> FRANCE : Yes, but then Russia will keep fighting you too
GERMANY -> FRANCE : If I let you go, I might be able to get Russia to leave you alone
FRANCE -> RUSSIA : So how are you planning on attacking me with that NAO fleet?
FRANCE -> GERMANY : I can't fight Italy if you're attacking me
FRANCE -> AUSTRIA : If I were you, I'd use Budapest to bounce Italy out of Vienna and move Serbia to Trieste just in case Italy goes for it
RUSSIA -> FRANCE : I was just setting up a bounce with you
GERMANY -> FRANCE : I suppose
AUSTRIA -> FRANCE : That's the plan
FRANCE -> GERMANY : Do you want to keep fighting me?
GERMANY -> FRANCE : I can't get Russia to leave you alone
FRANCE -> AUSTRIA : Well best of luck to you
FRANCE -> RUSSIA : I think you should focus on Austria
AUSTRIA -> FRANCE : Thanks, I'll need it
FRANCE -> GERMANY : Okay then
FRANCE -> AUSTRIA : You're going to need a lot of it
GERMANY -> FRANCE : But I will leave Picardy this turn
GERMANY -> FRANCE : I don't think there's any point in me lying to you about it
FRANCE -> GERMANY : Well thank you for being honest
FRANCE -> GERMANY : I've enjoyed the games where we've worked together but I can't do it with you unless you leave Picardy and Burgundy
GERMANY -> FRANCE : That's understandable
FRANCE -> GERMANY : So are you going to move out of Picardy and Burgundy or do you want me to keep fighting you?
GERMANY -> FRANCE : I will move out of Picardy this turn
AUSTRIA -> FRANCE : Hope you can recover
FRANCE -> AUSTRIA : Me too
FRANCE -> GERMANY : Okay, thank you
AUSTRIA -> RUSSIA : Seems that Italy has played us both
RUSSIA -> AUSTRIA : Seems like they have played us both well
AUSTRIA -> RUSSIA : Indeed
RUSSIA -> AUSTRIA : So what do we do about it?
AUSTRIA -> RUSSIA : I'm thinking you pull out of Gal
RUSSIA -> AUSTRIA : And you out of Rumania?
AUSTRIA -> RUSSIA : I'm not going to leave my only port
RUSSIA -> AUSTRIA : That's fair
AUSTRIA -> RUSSIA : I think the best solution is you and I patch things up and go for Italy
RUSSIA -> AUSTRIA : That's probably what's best
AUSTRIA -> RUSSIA : Do you have a plan?
RUSSIA -> AUSTRIA : I guess I'll have to destroy my army that was in Bulgaria so I can build it again in Sev

FRANCE -> GERMANY : Yeah that's what I thought
FRANCE -> GERMANY : You don't want me as an ally and I wouldn't be much help if I was eliminated
GERMANY -> FRANCE : You're doing a pretty good job defending yourself
GERMANY -> FRANCE : Russia does seem to be encircling you, though

ITALY -> GERMANY : Thanks, I hope I can keep that up. Russia and I have been on good terms, but they haven't asked me for any help against Austria recently. I think we'll just be keeping each other occupied for now.
GERMANY -> FRANCE : I'm not that worried about Russia, I don't think they can take it
GERMANY -> ITALY : That's good
GERMANY -> ITALY : You have a strong position, so you shouldn't have any problems

RUSSIA -> AUSTRIA : Maybe you could try to take Greece
AUSTRIA -> RUSSIA : I was thinking about going to the Ionian to threaten Tunis and Nap
ITALY -> GERMANY : It looks like I'm going to have to send my new army west to help you against France, I don't think I'll be able to break through against Austria with only two armies.
GERMANY -> ITALY : Okay, as long as you keep it out of Bohemia
ITALY -> GERMANY : Of course.
RUSSIA -> AUSTRIA : That works too

GERMANY -> FRANCE : If we follow your plan, I would have stayed the same, while you would have lost a unit
FRANCE -> GERMANY : Yes but the net result is the same
GERMANY -> FRANCE : Not quite
FRANCE -> GERMANY : It just looks a little worse on the map
GERMANY -> FRANCE : It's actually better for me
GERMANY -> FRANCE : This result is better for me in the long run
FRANCE -> GERMANY : I guess
GERMANY -> FRANCE : It's not actually worse for me, just worse for you
FRANCE -> GERMANY : It's not worse for me at all
GERMANY -> FRANCE : Are you sure?
GERMANY -> FRANCE : It's certainly worse for you
FRANCE -> GERMANY : Are you sure?
GERMANY -> FRANCE : Yes

}GERMANY -> FRANCE : I'm confused as to what your plan was
FRANCE -> GERMANY : It doesn't really matter
FRANCE -> GERMANY : This is such a waste of time
GERMANY -> FRANCE : It really does matter
FRANCE -> GERMANY : No it really doesn't
FRANCE -> GERMANY : We've already made this argument
GERMANY -> FRANCE : Have we?
GERMANY -> FRANCE : It does matter. Are you just going to arbitrarily disagree with me?
FRANCE -> GERMANY : I guess
FRANCE -> GERMANY : Just because you have some made up nonsensical theory doesn't mean it's true
GERMANY -> FRANCE : I'm not making anything up, I'm pointing out that it does matter
GERMANY -> FRANCE : It's a petty thing for you to hold grudges about
FRANCE -> GERMANY : No it's not actually
FRANCE -> GERMANY : My moves didn't matter and I made a move that would've worked but you didn't like it
GERMANY -> FRANCE : Yes, it actually does
GERMANY -> FRANCE : We disagree about whether it's better for me or worse for me
FRANCE -> GERMANY : No it really isn't
GERMANY -> FRANCE : That's not true either
GERMANY -> FRANCE : There's no way to convince you that it does matter, so we'll just have to agree to disagree
FRANCE -> GERMANY : You keep asserting that it doesn't matter but there's no basis for that claim
GERMANY -> FRANCE : Well, then we're just going to have to agree to disagree
GERMANY -> FRANCE : That's not true, either
FRANCE -> GERMANY : Okay then

GERMANY -> FRANCE : You said it doesn't matter. I disagreed. We'll just have to agree to disagree again.
GERMANY -> FRANCE : As you said, it really doesn't matter.
FRANCE -> GERMANY : Okay we'll just have to agree to disagree
FRANCE -> GERMANY : I actually have another offer for you that might interest you
FRANCE -> ITALY : Yes there's a very good chance I'll return Tunis to you
FRANCE -> ITALY : But probably not immediately
GERMANY -> FRANCE : What's your offer?
FRANCE -> GERMANY : I'm open to negotiations
GERMANY -> FRANCE : I'm also open to negotiations
ITALY -> FRANCE : Thanks, I would appreciate that.
FRANCE -> GERMANY : What if I gave you Brest back in exchange for Paris and Marseilles?
GERMANY -> FRANCE : I'll think about it
FRANCE -> GERMANY : Let me know
GERMANY -> FRANCE : I don't really see a need for this deal
GERMANY -> FRANCE : It sounds like you're just trying to make me waste some time
FRANCE -> GERMANY : It sounds like you're not open to a deal
GERMANY -> FRANCE : Yes, I am
GERMANY -> RUSSIA : I don't suppose you're open to a deal?
RUSSIA -> GERMANY : What are you proposing?

}GERMANY -> RUSSIA : Let me know what you think
RUSSIA -> GERMANY : I'll talk to Austria about it
FRANCE -> GERMANY : Great! So let me know
GERMANY -> FRANCE : So what would be the terms?
FRANCE -> GERMANY : I give you Paris this turn
FRANCE -> GERMANY : In exchange I don't attack you anywhere
GERMANY -> FRANCE : Where would you attack me, though?
GERMANY -> FRANCE : Would you give me the specifics of your plan?
FRANCE -> GERMANY : I'd send fleets to attack Italy
GERMANY -> FRANCE : I'm not sure I can accept this deal
FRANCE -> GERMANY : So what do you want?
FRANCE -> GERMANY : The deal could still be good for you
GERMANY -> FRANCE : You're making offers that would help you more than me
GERMANY -> FRANCE : But I'm still considering
FRANCE -> GERMANY : Let me know
GERMANY -> FRANCE : I'm going to need more details
GERMANY -> FRANCE : Specifically, I'm interested in your plans to attack Italy
FRANCE -> GERMANY : I'd use my fleets to attack him in the south
FRANCE -> GERMANY : The main thing you need to worry about is my giving my supply centers to Austria and Russia
GERMANY -> FRANCE : Alright. Here are the terms I need:
GERMANY -> RUSSIA : Any updates?
RUSSIA -> GERMANY : They haven't responded
FRANCE -> GERMANY : You can tell me the terms
FRANCE -> GERMANY : If you accept
GERMANY -> FRANCE : I want to know your plan for attacking Italy
GERMANY -> RUSSIA : I'm having trouble coming up with a good reason why Austria would not accept
GERMANY -> ITALY : If you haven't already, you should ask Turkey for support
FRANCE -> GERMANY : What if I send all my fleets south and attack him
ITALY -> GERMANY : Thanks, I should do so.
GERMANY -> ITALY : You can't survive if you don't make friends
GERMANY -> FRANCE : The only places you can attack are my territories, so I don't see how this deal would be helpful for me
FRANCE -> GERMANY : Your territories would be safe
ITALY -> GERMANY : Indeed.
FRANCE -> GERMANY : Don't negotiate a deal and then not accept
RUSSIA -> GERMANY : They might just not have checked their messages yet
GERMANY -> FRANCE : You would not be safe
GERMANY -> RUSSIA : That's a problem
FRANCE -> GERMANY : How do I know
FRANCE -> GERMANY : Anyway what if I gave you Paris but you have to help me recapture Marseilles
GERMANY -> FRANCE : You don't know, but I know that's not safe
GERMANY -> FRANCE : And even if I did, I'm not going to help you do that
GERMANY -> ITALY : I'm also trying to help you
GERMANY -> ITALY : I'm assuming France reached out to you about your survival
ITALY -> GERMANY : They did, thank you.
ITALY -> FRANCE : Did Germany contact you about my survival as well? They said they would and it seems they're genuinely trying to help me.
FRANCE -> ITALY : Yes but I don't believe them
FRANCE -> ITALY : I'd take whatever they say with a big grain of salt
ITALY -> FRANCE : I probably won't trust them after they stabbed you, but right now I don't have any better options.
FRANCE -> ITALY : They stabbed me for one center in Marseilles
FRANCE -> ITALY : I don't see what they could offer you
ITALY -> FRANCE : True.
FRANCE -> ITALY : It seems like you can get Venice back this turn
GERMANY -> ITALY : I'm glad

GERMANY -> ITALY : I doubt it would work
GERMANY -> ITALY : You should support yourself in Rome, though
ITALY -> GERMANY : Yeah, that's the plan.
GERMANY -> RUSSIA : Are we doing the three-way tie now?
GERMANY -> ITALY : Did France talk to you about survival?
ITALY -> GERMANY : They didn't.
ITALY -> FRANCE : I'll support you to the Ionian this turn.
RUSSIA -> GERMANY : I'll talk to Austria
RUSSIA -> GERMANY : If they say no I guess we can continue to attack you
RUSSIA -> AUSTRIA : Sorry I didn't see your message
AUSTRIA -> RUSSIA : No worries. We're doing well
GERMANY -> ITALY : Hmm
GERMANY -> ITALY : I don't see how supporting France back into the Ionian would do anything
RUSSIA -> AUSTRIA : So we are gonna try to tie with Germany?
GERMANY -> RUSSIA : Fair enough
ITALY -> GERMANY : It would give me a better chance of survival, but it would be a gamble.
AUSTRIA -> RUSSIA : We can if you want. I was just gonna play it out. I was hoping for a 3 way tie, but Germany is winning so far. I think he will finish France off soon
GERMANY -> ITALY : Austria will probably not support France into the Ionian
GERMANY -> ITALY : It wouldn't be enough to help you survive if you're surrounded by enemies
RUSSIA -> AUSTRIA : Ok
RUSSIA -> FRANCE : I'm gonna try to help you out as soon as I can
ITALY -> GERMANY : True, but the alternative is to die.
GERMANY -> ITALY : I suppose that's true
FRANCE -> GERMANY : I guess I'll do what I have to do to survive and that's convince Russia and Austria to attack you
GERMANY -> FRANCE : It's not going to work
GERMANY -> FRANCE : Or you could try to attack Austria, Russia, or Italy
GERMANY -> AUSTRIA : I have an offer for you
GERMANY -> AUSTRIA : We have a chance to do the three-way tie that was originally promised
FRANCE -> ITALY : Thanks I'll go there again
